Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).
